Surgery Recovery Care at Home in McDonough, GA

Undergoing surgery of any kind requires a recovery period that includes rest and a routine that helps the patient return to normal activity as soon as possible.

Most patients need help in the days following surgery, and at least some ongoing assistance until they are fully recovered to resume their normal daily routines. There are many post-surgery details to handle, like making sure that the patient is comfortable, that surgical dressings are fresh and medications taken, and that the patient’s immediate needs are taken care of. Depending on doctor’s orders and the type of surgery, the patient may be encouraged to get up and move around on schedule so the body’s normal functions are maintained.

Surgical recovery times can differ widely, from a few days to months. Regular day-to-day support after surgery is a key element in reducing recovery time. Providing strong post-surgery support is one of the best ways to assure a faster and better recovery.

Home Help after an Operation

If you’ve just had an operation, after your surgery you’ll feel tired. You may experience pain and feel fatigued. This is your body trying to heal itself and asking you to rest, so it can put energy into recovery. When you come home from the hospital, it’s important that you and your family realize that you will need extra help for a period of time.

If you’re part of a busy family, a senior or a person living alone, it can be hard for family members or friends to find the time to give you the care you need to make a full and healthy recovery. What time they do have, they may want to spend with you, not distracted with running errands or doing chores. A trained, experienced home caregiver can fill this gap and help you and your family cope by providing extra support following your surgery.

"Yesterday I met with Ms. Crookshanks and a client of mine who will begin receiving Acti-Kare services. Ms. Crookshanks was absolutely AMAZING. She provided a personal touch to a sometimes very cold situation. I have experienced working with home care agencies that just send someone out and forget about it. I couldn’t believe that she actually came out to initially meet with the client and takes time to make sure she matches the client with the perfect caregiver. She was compassionate and engaged throughout the entire process. I must say this is the best service I have ever received from an at home care agency."
